Joe Gurrola PHIL344 Anonymous 10/08/2024	i think this guy is checked out because he just does not seem to care about teaching. he is near impossible to reach and doesnt seem accountable. also, starting to think he is using our class to further his own research/work. the readings are good but i can't credit him for those because he didn't write them and I don't know how much effort went into them being selected.

Ridiculously pedantic with your writing and not afraid to rip into your work and provide feedback which can only be described as vague at best. The coursework itself is not difficult and the assignments are straightforward. I am most likely going to withdraw from this course as my GPA does not deserve torment.

He will not post slides so you have to show up, and only one in-person exam, which was a paper. He graded fair overall and if you pay attention in class you will be fine on the papers.

Skips through slides so fast and will not post them because of the people who don’t show up to class. Barely any assignments to boost your grade. Was so close to an A- and would not bump me. Avoid him at all costs!
